The Federal Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the release, stating that witnesses reported the suspect had distanced himself from the vehicle used in the attack. Meanwhile, German officials, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, are advocating for stricter measures against potential threats, including the use of electronic monitoring and preventive detention. The attack, which targeted participants of the Christopher Street Day parade, resulted in fatalities, including a Polish national, prompting calls for legislative reforms regarding the treatment of individuals classified as security risks.
